Thompson went through “psychological hurdles” during rehab
Throughout the documentary, Thompson is shown working with doctors and trainers in his knee rehab. However, according to Thompson, his work outside the gym has been a significant portion of his comeback tour.
Via Above The Waves:
It’s not just about getting your hours in the gym or your rehab. The psychological hurdles are probably the biggest things I needed to overcome. This isn’t an exact science, you know? It’s not a mathematical equation. It’s about being consistent and training the mind to be fearless. That’s what this year is giving me. It’s a recharging.
Although he was ruled out for the remainder of the year, Thompson was spotted going through non-contact drills on the floor at Warriors practice before the season was put on hold with 17 games remaining.
Thompson will have the entire offseason to continue building up confidence in his surgically repaired left knee.
